Unlike the traditional candlestick chart which plots the actual open, close, high and low the Heiken Ashi candlestick are independent candles in the sense that they are calculated based on the above formula and use as inputs information from previous candles which makes them slower and “lagging” behind. Because of the nature of the Heiken Ashi candles as they use an average price it may be the case that Heiken Ashi candlestick does not reflect the most recent price and that’s one of the reasons why it may not be recommended for scalping.
As the name of the indicator suggests it makes the trend smoother and easier to spot and that’s why it’s more suited for trend traders. One of the key characteristics the Heiken Ashi Smoothed candlestick is that usually both in an uptrend or downtrend the candles have very little, but in most cases no lower shadows while it poses extreme upward shadows.
Heiken Ashi Smoothed MT4 Indicator Trading Rules
The Heiken Ashi Smoothed MT4 Indicator is really an indicator designed as a stand-alone trading system but in order to improve the performance of the indicator we’re going to add the 200-day Moving Average because the 200 MA is considered to represent one of the most trusted moving averages. Going forward, we’re going to lay down an effective trading system using the Heiken Ashi Smoothed indicator in combination with the 200-day MA.
BUY and SELL Trading Rule
Only buy above the 200-day MA once you have two Heiken Ashi candles pointing to the upside. Conversely, we’re going to sell only below the 200-day MA once we have two Heikin Ashi candles pointing to the downside.
Stop Loss
For stop loss orders we’re going to use the traditional candlestick prices in combination with the Heiken Ashi candles. In this regard for buy setups we put our SL below last candlesticks where we had red Heiken Ashi candles and for sell setups, we put our SL above last candlesticks where we had blue Heiken Ashi candles.
Take Profit Rule
Take profit once we break in the opposite direction of the 200-day MA.
Very good system to use.
Yes indeed. This is a good indicator and system to use.
And it’s not too difficult to learn too.
